Thank you all,

Résume:
My ISP sunrise.ch is supressing the mail service it offered under the name 
"Sunrise freesurf plus" and transferring the mails to a new service called 
"Sunrise mail", which is based on Gmail's technology.
The problem with this is that the mails I send to the kubuntu list (and 
others) are not retrived by Kmail (or any other mail agent) using pop3, 
although they appear in my inbox on the site for Sunrise mail.

I am trying to find a workaround, namely to set up a filter on the server side 
that would forward those mails to another mailbox, from which I could then 
retrieve them in Kmail.

The new mailbox works and I could even manually forward there (then retrive in 
Kmail) the mail on the Sunrise server. I'm still having problems setting the 
filter, it selects the mails correctly but does not forward them ;-(
It appears (also from googling) that the automatic forwarding of Gmail is 
different from the manual one and perhaps broken.

So I may not be able to get this workaround to work.
Among the many suggestions I had, I will probably try some.But since that is 
quite time consuming and not so crucial it can wait until next week-end.

Greetings		Perry
